Abstract

A union ultrafilter is an ultrafilter over the finite subsets of ω that has a base of sets of the form , where X is an infinite pairwise disjoint family and FU(X) = {∪ F|F [X]\{ø}}. The existence of these ultrafilters is not provable from the axioms, but is known to follow from the assumption that cov(M) = c. In this article we obtain various models of that satisfy the existence of union ultrafilters while at the same time cov(M) < c.
